Learn how to interpret the reporting of statistical results in clinical studies

It will explore beyond the simple how-to of statistical testing to delve into what is the research question, what is being estimated and interpretation of confidence intervals and p-values.
A program of online research-based workshops is currently being offered for nurses who work in the cancer domain. Increase your skills and build your confidence to undertake nurse-led research.
Showcasing the latest exciting developments in basic, translational, and clinical cancer research, this one-day virtual event is a great opportunity for professional development and networking nationally.
Seminar three: The ethics of progress in head and neck cancer
